Verizon Working On Music Downloads Service

While being interviewed after a recent speech, Verizon CEO Denny Strigl said that Verizon Wireless intends to launch a music download service within the next 6 to 8 months. This is very interesting news considering the recent buzz about Motorola and Apple's upcoming iTunes phone. It appears that we can all look forward to listening to music on our cell phones.

"We intend and are working toward the launch of a service that would allow for full music on a mobile phone," Nelson said. Verizon Wireless has one phone is its handset lineup that will support music downloads, which will be available "in the next couple of months," he noted.
